The Debian bug server use a much more recent snapshot than the Debian
package and is certainly a production-level installation.

Sure, where is the list of outstanding issues you would like to fix prior
uploading ?

As you know, you alread commited the patches I had to the debbugs
repository. But I can pick them and apply them on top of menu 2.4.1 and
upload that as an NMU. That will not be of worse quality that 2.4.1 is.

It is not as if NMUing would break the Debian bug server.
If you do not want to maintain the Debian package, well, don't.
